The National New Zealand Seminary College and the Extraordinary Form of the Mass.

Yesterday 14th October, feast of St Callistus Pope and martyr, Fr. John Rizzo, traditional priest member of  FSSP, was invited, by a faculty  member of the New Zealand Good Shepherd National Seminary College [GSC], to lecture on the Holy Eucharist .

He did so by offering the Holy Sacrifice according to the Extraordinary Form in the College Chapel, for the class on the Eucharist and for  other Seminarians present.

Fr. Rizzo then explained this form of the Latin Rite in the lecture room, as  part of the two hour Theological lecture.

This compulsory Eucharistic Course forms part of priestly training for both Diocesan and the Marist Order Seminarians. The faculty Theologian concerned also teaches Latin at the same College [GSC].
